    Look inside for great book to learn assembly

    So I got this book about 2 years ago when I was still struggling with c++ and I picked it up again a week ago and wrote myself a little dos asm program that messes with chars displayed on the screen.

    The point is "Assembly Language Step-by-step: Programming with DOS and Linux" is just about the best guide anywhere for learning asm. It starts with the basics and spends 150 pages on how a computer works, hex, binary and explanations of things. Then it continues on to teach you assembly but it doesn't just throw instructions at you. The instructions taught in the book are all explained so that you know what goes on behind the scenes when an instruction like pusha or popa is used.

    Also moar ppl in asm section plox? Seems to me like this place is dying hehe I gave up on c++ for now assembly time

    I'll take a look. Can always use a good book. I just hope its not written in some fked up syntax like HLA...

    "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
    - Dwight D. Eisenhower
